Spatial Offers Thread-Safe 3D ACIS Modeling Component

By DE Editors

3D Modeling includes ACIS extensions for specific application needs including hidden line removal, deformable modeling, advanced covering and defeaturing.

Spatial Corp. (Broomfield, CO) announced the Thread-Safe ACIS Modeler, which is said to be the first commercially available thread-safe 3D geometric modeling component. Thread-safe ACIS allows applications to use concurrent threads of execution within ACIS. For compute-intensive operations, the result is near-linear performance scaling on multi-core systems.

Computer-aided design (CAD), engineering (CAE), and manufacturing (CAM) applications can realize performance gains when faceting, sectioning, and performing most ACIS modeling operations that work on multiple independent parts. In contrast to multi-threaded components that use ‘fine grain parallelism,’ Thread-Safe ACIS offers application developers the prospect to achieve performance gains within their own application and under their own control.

At the core of Thread-Safe ACIS is the 3D ACIS Modeler, the geometry component for thousands of applications, is an open, object-oriented C++ architecture that enables robust, 3D modeling capabilities for applications with simple to complex modeling needs. Thread-Safe ACIS enables developers to take advantage of multi-core architectures and provides the best approach to address their biggest application performance challenges.
